Depuis Héraklion: excursion en bus d'une journée à destination de la ville de La Canée, du lac Kournas et de la ville de Réthymnon
Description
Cette excursion nous conduit en Crète occidentale et à notre premier arrêt à Chania, la ville la plus ravissante de la Crète. C'était une importante ville minoenne et la «mère des villes crétoises», selon des écrivains anciens. La ville est divisée dans la vieille ville, avec son magnifique port et la nouvelle ville, au-delà de ses fortifications vénitiennes.

Itinéraire
Cette excursion nous amène à l'ouest de la Crète et notre premier arrêt à La Canée, la ville la plus ravissante de Crète. C'était une ville minoenne importante et la «mère des villes crétoises», selon les écrivains anciens. La ville est divisée en la vieille ville, avec le magnifique port et la nouvelle ville, au-delà de ses fortifications vénitiennes. La Vieille Ville est l'une des plus belles villes de la Méditerranée et s'appelle la "Venise de l'Est". Nous pouvons admirer des échantillons de toutes les civilisations qui sont passées d'ici : sites archéologiques minoens, minarets et mosquées turcs, quartiers musulmans, forteresses vénitiennes, chantiers navals, fontaines, places, arches, manoirs, Loggia et le phare de Chania, Chania 731 32.
Au retour, nous nous arrêtons à Rethimnon, la troisième plus grande ville de Crète, où coexistent des monuments des époques archéologique, ottomane et vénitienne, de manière extrêmement intéressante. Promenez-vous dans les ruelles de la vieille ville, visitez les minarets turcs comme la mosquée Neratze et les forteresses vénitiennes ou profitez simplement de votre café dans le magnifique port.
En quittant cette ville extraordinaire, nous arrivons au pittoresque lac Kournas, un bel habitat avec de l'eau douce naturelle, unique en son genre en Crète. Une verdure luxuriante, des cavités escarpées entre les collines, des espèces rares de poissons et d'oiseaux, comme les anguilles, les poules d'eau et les tortues bicolores, font de Kournas l'endroit idéal pour profiter d'une baignade avant notre déjeuner ou d'une promenade en début d'après-midi. Toute la zone de Kournas est protégée par Natura 2000, car elle a été désignée zone humide.

Should have just done chania and lake. Three places took too long as did the drop off back to Heraklion
Hello thank you for the informations thats helpfull
Ignore the tour times - states on here that you receive 2 hours at Rethyno, this is a bare faced lie. I brought this up with the guide who stated it was never advertised as this and did not want to see the listing showing otherwise. Only reason we picked this tour is due to the extra time at this location but it was all just a lie. Would not recommend this company for others. Air con broken on bus, tour guide speaking constantly so unable to sleep/relax on the bus.
Hello thank you for the informations thats helpfull
A nice excursion with a bilingual guide (English: French) who shared his passion for his country with us. The comments were interesting, but since they were repeated in both languages, it felt a bit long... Chania and Rethymnon are interesting; the lake is not essential at all except for dining by the water. I would have clearly preferred to have more time in Rethymnon (one hour is insufficient). Overall, a beautiful day.
thank you for the review
An easy way to visit Thanks and Refugee from Irakio. A long day with ample time to visit both cities. Comfortable bus, knowledgeable tour leader, and great sites
thank you for the review
Very well organized and enjoyable despite a large number of participants. Highly recommended.
thank you for the review
The guide was great! Just maybe instead of showing us the way to see the attractions, she could have accompanied those who wanted and then left some free time!
thank you for the review
The tour was a pleasure from start -720am pickup -to 8pm finish.The 3 stops were all worth seeing with the only change being longer in each place would have been nicer but due to the length of the day this was not possible The tour guide was a friendly and informative lady who made the day a real pleasure .Thank you for such a lovely tour!
Thank you for the review
It was amazing how they managed to pack so much into one day. Crete is so big, so to be able to see these wonderful places on a day trip was brilliant. I would have to say that it's a very long day, it was about 14 hours from start to finish but I suppose it depends on how far away you are. It was definitely worth it though. Thanks very much.
Thank you for the review
Bus was old and uncomfortable. Speakers poor , my wife had to sit behind a broken seat. Guides response was to change seats but there were no spare for two people. The driver drove very fast
Pros: Unmissable places to visit to discover the north of Crete.The guide "Olga" very friendly and professional Cons:Departure from the hotel at 7.30am and arrival in Chania at 11.30am...A very long bus ride that can seem endless.Running tours , timed and shortened because of the “latecomers”.
thank you for the review
